I wax my car on occasion, clear bra on the front. Most of the time i wash my car every 1-2 weeks in the summer with using a spray detail wax inbetween using real wax. Car shines great every time.

I've been using Zaino on my cars for over 10 years. I've always been happy with it. I've only had the BRZ for about 3 months. Just now getting around to polishing out the swirl marks left by the previous owner. Wanted to try something new, so just got some Optimum Gloss Coat. Interested to see how I like it.

Yes. Last weekend I found myself spending 6 hours to wash, dry, clay bar, detail, and wax my car. I also put 3 layers of wax on the paint.

The funny part was that a '14 corvette was drying his car right next to my brz. He told me about the Opticoat and said it works wonders.

P.S. Although I put 3 layers of wax on my car, it has only been a week and they paint does not feel as smooth like I waxed it.

Yups, Opticoat Pro is a great product!
